418164 - Firefox 3 Regression: white-space:pre div forces browser window width

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Jeff Schiller]

Attached is a minimal test case that shows the difference in rendering between Firefox 2 and Firefox 3.  

In Fx2, the client area width adjusted with the browser window width in a very reasonable way such that a horizontal scrollbar is not really required until a very narrow window width was achieved.  This behavior is also similar to Opera 9.5.

However, in Fx3, the client area width appears to have a much larger minimum width (as long as the longest text string in the PRE div).

[Jeff Schiller]

To further help debug - the wrapping div (page in the test case) must have position:absolute).  Without it, the page displays just fine, adjusting the width of the client area to a much smaller minimum width.

Can you attach a test case ? (or did bugzilla swallow it ?)

Comment 3

Attachment: Minimal test case

Yes - looks like Bugzilla _DID_ swallow it.  :)

At least I tried to attach a file during the bug creation process.

Not reproducible in windows-XP with latest Nightly and release.
Considering this, I will mark this issue as Resolved-WORKSFORME. If anyone can still reproduce it, feel free to reopen the issue and provide more information. Thanks
